1 High Ceiling Protection

2 High Ceiling Protection An Investigation of Automatic Sprinkler Protection of Buildings with Non-Storage Occupancies and High Clearances Company Confidential 2

3 Background New architectural designs create real fire protection challenges to fire engineers. The Taller seems to be The Better Sprinkler performance and effectiveness in buildings with high roofs and nonstorage occupancies such as atria, convention centers, casinos auditoriums, theaters, exposition halls and others, is not well understood. Project conducted by FMG Research at the 18.3 m high ceiling FM test site in Rhode Island, USA 3

4 A Series of Tests to answer Questions related to Sprinkler Performance Need to investigate the adequacy of the different approaches for protection in FM Global Data Sheet 3-26 prior to Jan Tests results to answer: Will automatic sprinklers ever operate? What would be the ceiling temp.? What type of sprinkler and design criteria to use and will sprinklers be effective in controlling the fire? Will skipping be a factor in the performance of the sprinkler (sprinkler in the fire area being cooled by adjacent activated sprinklers preventing it from operating) 4

7 Goals of the FM Test Program Conduct 5 full scale fire tests at the Factory Mutual facility to investigate sprinkler performance in Ordinary Hazard, non-storage buildings with high clearances, up to 60 ft. (18.3 m). building height containing potential fuel stacks lower than 10 ft (3 m high). 7

33 Conclusion #1: Results validated but more Research needed 1. For the test conditions, automatic sprinkler design criteria of 6 mm/min over 232 m 2 was validated for moderately loaded areas equivalent to Class II, 12 mm/min was validated for moderately loaded areas equivalent to Class III 18 mm/min over 232 m 2 criteria was validated for heavily loaded areas 2. However, high clearances induce temporary or permanent skipping of automatic sprinklers and more work is needed to evaluate its effect on fire control 33

34 Conclusion #2: Even more Research needed! 3. Preliminary results seem to demonstrate that: Large Orifice : A K-factor of 360 at 18mm/min discharge density ensures large droplet sizes sufficient to penetrate the fire plume, Extended Coverage: Spacing of up to 6X6 m. reduces skipping, Fast Response element is required at larger spacing to guarantee early operation, From the tests, the EC25 offers an efficient protection scheme for high ceiling clearances of up to 18.3 m 34
